What is Micro Soldering?

Micro soldering repairs are motherboard component-level repairs that are performed with a microscope and other specialty equipment. They involve our technicians working with parts that are smaller than a grain of rice in order to restore functionality to your device. TCR is able to repair and replace capacitors, connectors, and rework other types of motherboard-level damage. Often these repairs come from customers that have exhausted simple repair options like screen replacement (which we do too!) and want to avoid costly device-replacement options.

Micro soldering is especially useful in fixing the known issue with the touch IC chips in the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. This issue causes flickering of the screen, intermittent touch function, and often there is a gray bar at the top of the screen. These IC chips are not well-secured to the circuit board and, combined with the tendency of the phone to bend slightly, it is easy for the bonds to break. Many repair shops simply reheat the chips in an effort to restore the failed bonds, but micro soldering allows us to clean out the old solder and any oxidation which creates a new, clean, stronger bond.

The Android devices are known for charging ports loosening or breaking with time. Micro soldering allows us to easily fix these charge ports on your tablet or phone.

A damaged backlight on a mobile device can cause a very dark screen or no light output at all. Typically the phone still functions but the user cannot see or use the screen. Microsoft, Wii and Playstation consoles can be repaired also. Common repairs for these devices are HDMI ports, USB ports, controllers, and power adapters. These repair options can save you hundreds of dollars and get you back to your games in a matter of hours.

TCR has been successfully fixing cell phones and tablets in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area since 2012. We understand how critical your devices are and we work hard to make repairs as quick and cost-effective as possible. We offer a 90-day warranty on all repairs as well.
